Reprocess images Aperture 3.0

I tried to reprocess images to from previous RAW processing to Aperture RAW 3.0 in a batch with the stamp tool. That does work for almost al images, but not for all. I select all the images, they are not in a stack. Also some images which I reprocessed once, twice ore more keep showing the reprocess button.

Try doing it by highlighting the thumbnails and right clicking on one, and clicking "reprocess masters"

  • Library All Images Aperture unexpectedly Quits

    Hi,
    Every time I open Library>All Images, Aperture unexpectedly Quits.
    Please Help
    2.7 G5 & PowerBook 1 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Rebuild your library by holding down "Cmd-Option" at the same time as you click on the Aperture icon to start it. When it comes up it will ask if you want to rebuild.
    If that does not help, go inside your Aperture library and move all of the project files outside the library - then add them back in one at a time, loading Aperture and trying "all libraries" to see if it works. It could be a bad file inside one of the projects.
    If it is a bad file insde a project, you can go inside the problem project and remobe all the thumbnail files, and see if any master files look bad - a bit more time consuming.
    To go inside both the Aperture libray and project files, go to the file in Finder, right click and select "Show Package Contents" which goes inside the library (which is just a special kind of folder).
    Hopefully though the rebuild fixes things.

  • Aperture Reprocessing Images, Previews, and Thumbnails

    Came across a bug the otherday while working with metadata.  After attempting to use Metadata->Batch Change->Time Adjustment I noticed that after applying the adjustment the date/time on the images returned back to their original settings.  I thought it strange but simply switched over to Metadata->Adjust Date and Time  with the Also Change Original File option checked.  This seemed to work.
    But - then I began to notice also that the system was slowing.  Did a little checking and discovered that Aperture was processing thumbnails and previews in the background.  This should not have been happening for a couple reasons:
    1) I always allow previews and thumbs to complete follwing an import before doing anything else
    2) None of the images were being modified at the time (I was simply scrolling through libraries)
    I have spent a couple days on this now and could not find the culprit.  It goes something like this:
    Open Aperture - everything is fine
    Select a library and start looking through it and not soon after the activity window shows it building previews (and/or thumbnails) for the library I am in.
    Just tonight that got me thinking.  I opened Aperture
    I opened a library
    From the Inspector I went to the Info tab
    I selected the Aperture drop down
    Every time I view an image - the "Last Modified Date:" time stamp gets updated to the current date/time - even though I am not modifing the image in any way.
    I am guessing this is what reset by DTG values (paragraph 1) and why thumbnails and previews are being regenerated.
    I repaired permissions
    I repaired the library
    I rebuilt the database
    I deleted all previews and rebuilt them
    Permissions are R&W to the folder the library is in
    Permissions are R&W to the library itself
    What I cannot figure out is why Aperture is "Updating" every image I view.
    I was wondering - if anyone else had come across a similar issue. 
    System Information
    Mac OSX dual 2.26Ghz Quad Core
    RAM 32GB
    DIsk Size 2TB / 845GB Free

    Library Size: 10,189 images / 47GB
    Library Type: Managed
    Location: my home directory
    Faces Enabled (but turning it off has no affect)
    Post-Import Processing uses Camera Previews (but using Standard Previews has no affect)
    New projects automatically generate previews is OFF
    Share previews with iLife and iWork is NEVER
    Photo Preview is 1920x1920 (lower size has no affect)
    Photo Quality is 12 High (lower setting has no affect)
    Photo Stream is OFF (never been ON)

    Update
    So tonight I tore into the library contents itself and found that all of my images were quarantined with com.apple.quarantine.
    I switched to my laptop loaded aperture and viewed the demo library discovering that the masters there are not quarantined.  So, it appears that sandbox security flagged all my images for god only know why.
    I've spent the night manually removing quarantine from all my files.  The I deleted all the thumbnails and am rerunning thumbnail and preview generation.  I'm hoping this resolves the issue.
    But now the next question - why were the masters flagged in the first place?

  • After 10000 images, Aperture begins to importing new images out of order

    Hi All,
    I'm at about 13,000 images and from time to time I noticed that whenever I imported images after 10,000...Aperture at that point had begun the numbering sequence over again, some of the images would wind up next to its identically numbered image say from a year ago. In other words, Aperture is sorting by image number instead of by date even though I've selected date.
    Now it is happening all the time and all the new images (after 10,000) are finding their home somewhere within the catalog of images instead of at the very end.
    I thought I was going to be able to resolve the issue quickly by selecting the 'sort by image date' but that does not fix it. I've tried sorting the dates in an ascending and descending order but nothing I try fixes the sequence. I desperately need to get my images back into chronological order. Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Tyler
    Message was edited by: orehek

    orehek -
    Are you renaming the images on import? and if so, which preset are you using? Aperture doesn't have its own naming system otherwise. It uses the file names as the version name.
    Also, as another poster asked, which view are you using to view them all at once? All Photos? You can't have more than 10K versions in a single project I believe but I don't see how that could contribute to the weirdness you are seeing.
    As for why sort by date doesn't work, that makes no sense. Unless what you actually have is correct, ie, you have duplicate images in your library, that rightly have the same date and name, so the sorts reflect that. Or you have made new versions from your existing images - those would also sort like that. Can you give us some more details/examples?

  • Garbled images - Aperture 2 + Leopard

    Hi,
    I'm using 1dsIII raws on my iMac and they are appearing all garbled. Bits of the images are showing in weird spots in the viewer, in other spots are green oversized pixels and pink lines. Most obvious as soon as I crop or when using the loupe... once I crop, the image only appears in teh viewer in its garbled form.
    Same files work fine on my mbp with less RAM and an inferior graphics card.
    Images below show what I mean.

    Any help???
    Dave

    Hi,
    If it is of any help:
    I have experienced a similar issue, but then limited to ZOOM or Loupe usage.
    It happens so far with 1ds MK3 files with Aperture 2 and a 2008 MacPro with 1.5.2 and all upgrades installed, standard Video Card and plenty of RAM. The very same files work fine using a QUAD G5 and also latest OSX 1.5.2 with all updates.
    On the MacPro I seem to get similar issues with iphoto when zooming to 100 Percent. For a short time I suspected a card reader issue. But then I copied the files from card to desktop and imported into Aperture, Lightroom etc. LightRoom and Lightzone can process these files without any issues.
    I would appreciate some advice as well. Should I try and contact Apple support? Does that help in any way?
    Thanks

  • Beware of Changes to Images due to Reprocessing

    I converted all our libraries this weekend without doing any imaging, just the database...and no faces/places as I have no need for these features. We chose to do this just for speed sake, but now I am happy I did not, and here is why...
    In looking in the Apple Knowledgebase I came across this piece: "Aperture 3: Discussion about differences in exposure levels with Aperture 3 RAW decoding"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3948
    It tells me the differences in exposure in a number of popular cameras, including my Nikon D3.
    Nikon D3:
    Overall exposure is 0.5 darker
    ISO 100 is 0.3 darker
    ISO 140 is 1.0 darker
    "Summary
    When you reprocess images captured in a previous version of Aperture to use the Aperture 3 RAW decoding system, you may see some changes to the images. For more information about Aperture RAW 3, see Aperture 3: Converting images to Aperture 3 RAW decoding.
    Products Affected
    Aperture 3.x, Canon 1D Mk II N, 1D Mk III, 1Ds Mk II, 1Ds Mk III, 5D, 5D Mk II; Nikon D3, D300, D700
    One of the general improvements in Aperture RAW 3 is consistent default exposure at all ISO settings. Also, the default exposure level for certain cameras may be slightly darker or lighter. Here is a list of the differences you can expect."
    Just for the heck of it, I duplicated one of our catalog projects, one with specific hand-calibrated color backgrounds, so all images on a printed page match. I reprocessed the files and the 7300 images were all over the place, simply useless without working on them again... even if the fix is easy it will be more than nothing, which is the effort required to deliver them before reprocessing.
    Back in the film days, I would have bought a case of sheet film from the same emulsion batch, and had it processed in one batch chemical process. Even then there were small variances, but not like this. Of course if 2 years later the client wanted a chrome from the shoot it would not have changed, or be costing me a bunch of work hours to fix.
    Granted, this catalog piece has already been printed, but it is not uncommon to have a client request previous images rather than reshoot. If I had blindly reprocessed these we would be in big trouble.
    I am happy they added the new features, and have more exposure consistency going forward, and I look forward to enjoying it on future work.
    Although frankly, I do not see why they did not offer an upgrade that maintained the pixel values in existing work, but added the new feature capability.
    Unless the accuracy of your previous work is unimportant to you...I would only reprocess as needed. I recommend for most not to touch their previously-delivered work.
    Sincerely,
    K.J. Doyle

    Kevin, great heads up, thanks for this.

  • Desktop can not see all images in aperture project

    When trying to change the background picture desktop lists my aperture projects but only displays a subset (5 of 114) of the images in one project. Also have 2 of 8, 152 of 152, and 0 of 12 in different projects.

    It's possible you don't have Previews for the "missing" images (Aperture shares the Preview, not the full image).
    What happens if you update every image in the Project's Preview?
    To update all the JPEG previews in a project
    In the Library inspector, Control-click the project whose JPEG previews you want to update, then choose Update Previews from the shortcut menu.

  • Help!Importing images to existing folder in Aperture

    Hi everyone,
    I am currently try to use Aperture to organise my image files. I have a very large image library appoximatly 100GB, they are already been organised in different folder, and been backed up on the server. But because the library is taking up a huge amount of space on the machine, I moved my library onto a external HDD. However, after I have deleted all the images(not the folders), I will need to add more images into the folders on the machine, then add them into Aperture library. The problem I am having, is whenever I try to add the new images, Aperture will automaticlly create a folder for me with the same folder name again, rather than adding them into the exiting project. Is there a way to import new images to exiting project which I imported before without having Aperture creating new folders for me?
    The difficult part is because it is not going to be 3 or 4 images in one folder, but over 100000 images in different folders, how I can transfer the image without have to make any changes to the project in Aperture?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Ken

    Hi Celineken-
    If I understand you correctly, you have new images in a folder on a disk somewhere, and projects in your Aperture library with the same name as one or more folders on the disk. When you import the new images, Aperture is creating a new project with the name of the folder on the disk and importing the images there, instead of the already-existing project with the same in your library, is that right?
    If so, happily there is a simple solution for you: Open the Import Pane and navigate to the folder with the new images. Select the images you want to import, then click the Destination popup in the upper right of the screen, under the heading "Aperture Library". Change the Destination from New Project to the project of your choice. You can also save a step and just click the project from the Projects list on the left side of the Import Pane. Now, when you click the Import button, the photos will be imported into the project you specified.

  • Aperture 3: low quality preview images

    I don’t know if it's just a problem with my (new) Aperture Trial library or if it's a Aperture 3 bug:
    The preview images Aperture 3 (trial) creates from raw files (in my case NEFs) are different from the JPEGs exported using the same JPEG settings.
    I get the impression that the preview images don’t use all the adjustments applied to the raw files. They don’t have the moire reduction applied. The preview images of high ISO images have color noise, the exported images don’t have that color noise (the moire and noise settings of raw fine tuning are applied to the exported files but not to the image previews).
    As the preview images are used for the Finder media browser, iLife, iPhone/iPod touch picture sync and other things the lower quality is not acceptable for me.
    The preview images of Aperture 2 are identical to the exported JPEGs from Aperture 2 (using the same settings).
    I use Aperture 3 Trial with a new trial library and a few hundred raw images just to test Aperture 3.
    I already erased all preview images and rebuild the previews. I deselected using the embedded JPEGs from the raw files and I let Aperture rebuild the miniatures.

    It seems that Ap2 syncs the previews to the iPhone... you have to clear the previous cached previews before it will load higher quality previews... anyhow, here is what I did... and photos look better on my iphone (not feeling motivated enough to verify if it is the same quality as iphoto sync)...
    1.) change Ap2 prefs for "limit preview size" to "don't limit"...
    2.) select all the photos in the album(s) you are want to sync, right click (ctrl click), and select delete previews...
    3.) sync your iphone again...
    if that doesn't work directly, you might need to uncheck sync photos to delete all photos on the iphone, but the ultimate goal is to ensure refresh with the higher quality previews...
    Hope that makes sense or gets folks in the right direction... Apple really needs to put a check box in future version of itunes to sync full quality or something...

  • Low-quality iPhone images from Aperture 2.0

    Hi. I'm trying Aperture 2.0, and I configured iTunes to sync some photos from Aperture with my iPhone.
    The problem is, the photos on my iPhone from Aperture are noticeably lower in quality than those synced from iPhoto. The images are blurry and look like low-quality JPG's.
    In Aperture's preferences, I set the preview quality slider to maximum and set the limit preview size menu to "don't limit". Still, the images on my iPhone are of poor quality.
    Is there anything I can do to make the images Aperture exports to my iPhone look as good as those synced from iPhoto?
    Thanks!

  • Aperture 3.4.1 automatically switches to the next or previous image

    For the past few weeks Aperture has been doing something really odd and extremely annoying. While I'm editing an image, aperture will suddenly move to the next image. It happens primarily when I'm using the stamp tool and am stamping adjustments onto the image. I lift adjustments from one and as I go to stamp the selected image, aperture suddenly moves to the next or previous image. Sometimes I will have go back to the image I am intending to edit as many as 5 times before it stays there.
    This is incredibly annoying and killing my workflow. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what can I do? Suggestions and/or more questions welcome.
    Thanks!

    Nah, "Highlight Priority Mode" was switched off.
    Here's the examples:
    1. This is my finished picture. The information is still avaliable in the preview. So this is what I wanted it to look like and how I remembered it.
    http://cl.ly/image/3I2D0V1L2O0Q
    2. This is how Aperture makes it look now!!!
    http://cl.ly/image/3B0o0a0r051g
    3. This is what it looks like when I make a copy from the original and then stamp the old settings onto it.
    http://cl.ly/image/1g0w0u152t3i
    Go figure. It's just random and did I mentioned that I am deeply frustrated with an otherwise excellent program? :-)
    If this is bound to happen with our pictures, how can we reliably work with this? I have paying clients who come back to me months and years after and need to have access to their stock of photos.

  • Why won't image change in aperture once I've export to edit in photoshop?

    On going learning issue!
    I finally managed to edit in photoshop via aperture. I have to change the photo from 16 bit to 8 bit so I can edit it. I like to take the photo into Photoshop (elements 4) to fix some spots and such.
    It's supped to change in aperture when you are done editing in photoshop..right?
    What I see is a new version of the photo, but the changes have not been made.
    What am I doing wrong? I can see this becoming a problem when I try to export to print, burn a CD or even to web.
    How I fix it?
    Thanks!

    <...>
    3) Execute a File > Save command in Elements. (NOT a
    Save As...).
    4) Close the file in Elements.
    The edited version will show up in Aperture
    automatically with all of your changes applied.
    <...>
    One note on that excellent summary - you do not have to close the file after saving, you can continue to work on the image and save multiple times. Each time you save Aperture will recognize the changes and update the Aperture thumbnail.
    As to the original problem, it sounds like possibly you were saving the image somewhere else? Converting to 8-bit should be fine, as is resizing the image - Aperture should adjust for any changes made to the image.
    Another possibility is that Elements does not have something called "compatibility mode" turned on for PSD saves - if you've turned that off to conserve space turn it on again, because that compatibility mode saves a flattened image which is what Aperture uses to recognize image changes.

  • Image Previews In Aperture 3 - Canon 5D MK2

    The "previews" Aperture makes are exactly what the photo looks like in the camera and as I wanted/expected the photo to look like, but when the photo has time to "process", the image turns dull and bad looking. If I press "P" again, the photo does not return to the state it was. Sound confusing? Here is my import work flow.
    As I import my images, I keep "P" selected so I can zip through my images, rate and delete. When finished, I press "P" and that's when the images change. See attached images of before and after. I always check my histogram on the camera between shots and most of my shots are well exposed, but when I import them into Aperture...the images are typically 1-2 stops darker.
    I've been using Aperture since 1.0. This issue has been going on for quite some time, but my daughters birthday party this past weeked was the final straw.
    I have a Canon 5D MK2 with the 24-105mm 4.0L IS lens and shoot in RAW.
    Please help,
    Gene

    What William said  .  The parts of the Help page I sent you (the OP had posted onto another thread) that I wanted you to notice are this:
    How Aperture Displays Images in the Viewer
    When a version needs to be displayed in the Viewer, Aperture does the following:
    Aperture draws the thumbnail image (a JPEG image that is 1280 pixels in the longest dimension).
    Aperture draws the JPEG preview, if present.
    Aperture decodes the master and applies any adjustments to it.
    Once the last step is completed, the adjustment controls become available. Because the JPEG preview is created with all the adjustments for that version, it appears onscreen faster than the adjusted master would. The result is a sharp preview image that appears quickly in the Viewer.
    and this:
    “Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible” checkbox: Select this checkbox to have Aperture use the JPEG thumbnail produced by the camera, if available.
    For just-imported Images, Aperture uses the in-camera created JPEG until it makes its own.  This is almost certainly what you are seeing.  (You can change this at "Aperture➞Preferences➞Previews➞Post Import Processing".  I recommend selecting "Standard Previews".)
    The histogram on your camera is derived from an in-camera created JPEG.  It is somewhat congruent to the histogram of the converted RAW image, but the key word there is "somewhat".  Additionally, it reflects any in-camera settings you have.  The RAW file is strictly sensor data -- it is the recorded exposure, with no adjustments.
    Images from converted RAW files are frequently "dull" (manufacturers do all kinds of things to make their camera-baked JPEGs look "pleasing").  Aperture provides extensive and powerful tools for developing your Images.  When you record your exposures to RAW files, you should think of your camera as a data gathering tool.  The computer is your developer.  If you want the in-camera created JPEGs, there is no reason to record the sensor data to RAW files.
    There may be an additional problem with Canon 5D MK2 files.  Search the forum to see if this has been reported.

  • Aperture applying unwanted adjustments when loading an image

    Hello,
    I'm having a bit of an issue with Aperture and I'm wondering if the community can help me.
    My camera is a Canon Eos 600D.
    I'm running Aperture 3.4.3 on a Mid 2010 iMac 27", with 8GB of Ram.
    Just lately, when I import and load images into Aperture, it seems to be applying unwanted adjustments to the photos just after it completes loading them.
    Let me explain further:
    I take pictures on the camera. Previewing them on the Canon they look as I would expect, and I'm happy with them.
    I insert the SD card from the camera into the Mac, and Aperture previews/shows the thumbnails of my photos, and they look just like they did on the camera.
    I import them into a given library.
    When viewing the thumbnails of the imported images in the library, they look the same, so I double click one to load it fullscreen. The image appears fullscreen, looking exactly as it did on the camera, and Aperture pops the word 'Loading' at the top of the image.
    Them when it finishes 'Loading', it seems to apply some unwanted adjustments to the photo. Mostly it applies a yellow wash to the image, and in some cases, it radically adjusts the levels.
    See examples below:
    This was what the image looked like after it had loaded:
    And this is what it should have looked like (I had to edit it BACK to what it had looked like on the camera).
    I should note that once Aperture has seemingly applied these unwanted adjustments, there is no way to undo them - 'Revert to Original' does nothing as as far as Aperture is concerned, this is the original image.
    Again, notice what happens when I quick preview an image:
    But when I switch out of Quick Preview, these unwanted adjustments are applied:
    Please, can anyone help out with this - it's driving me crazy.
    Is there a way of seeing what Aperture might be doing/applying behind the scenes? I've checked Preferences but can't see anything obvious.
    Many thanks in advance.
    dradd

    Are you shooting raw?
    Aperture is not doing any adjustments after import. Probably you have set your camera to do adjustments and you are using in-camera adjustment settings, like D-Lighting. These in-camera adjustments are reflected in the camera generated preview, that you are seeing when you are importing the image. After that, when you are opening the image, Aperture will create its own preview from the naked raw image. And that what you will see in the viewer. This preview shows exactly what your raw image is like, without any adjustments done by the camera. If you want the image processing results from the camera and not the original raw image as recorded by the camera from the sensor, import jpeg and not raw.
    See this discussion: TA24505 Why do d600 raw's look totally different than the jpg's that are imported together. When I select a raw, it looks as if it gets adjusted, but I can't figure out why...

  • Loading Aperture images into Pages doc

    Have Aperture 2.1.4 and Pages '09. When using the Media tool to load images from the Aperture library (w/ images stored on internal HD), only option given is to load iPhoto images; Aperture does not appear and I do not use iPhoto. When I have tried to navigate to an onboard Aperture Library using Edit>Choose, my Aperture libraries are unable to be selected. What is the best solution?

    Henrik Holmegaard wrote:
    Hmm ... interesting idea. If the idea is to drag and drop unrendered ('undeveloped') raw image data into page, why does the system not permit this without indicating an intervening application to render ('develop') the raw image data? Somewhere, somehow there has to be rendering ('developing') of raw image data of which there are as many formats as there are makes and models of digital camera, so it might make sense for the system to ask for software that is able to do the rendering ('developing').
    Maybe in a future version but, at this time, Pages clearly states:
    Pages accepts all QuickTime-supported formats, including the following graphics file types:
    • TIFF
    • GIF
    • JPEG
    • PDF
    • PSD
    • EPS
    • PICT
    I'm not sure that this statement let us guess that Aperture files are accepted.
    If someone want to insert such a file, why not build an Automator process grabbing the file,
    developping it
    then inserting it in Pages ?
